  • A World-Renowned Centre for Biomedical Research

    Space for your organisation Indicative image of the proposed new MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology

    The Cambridge Biomedical Campus is already home to one of the most productive concentrations of biomedical scientific research in the world. In combining a first-rate research university medical centre with a range of world-famous basic science institutes and the internationally famous UK-NHS hospital on a single, manageable site, the Campus provides opportunities offered by very few biomedical centres in the world. This centre of innovation and excellence will now double in size while maintaining its focus on progressive biomedical science.

    The Cambridge Biomedical Campus is well-positioned for easy international travel. Stansted Airport is the site's nearest major airport and connects to over 160 European destinations. Trains to London King's Cross St Pancras take less than an hour, with onward connections to Europe via Eurostar. Importantly for many occupiers, the Campus is exceptionally well connected to fibre optic networks such as Dante and Géant which make global academic research collaboration even easier.

  • A Nationally Supportive Context

    Space for your organisation The Wellcome Trust and MRC Building at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus

    The UK, with its large, well-integrated and
    research-friendly National Health Service, is a stable
    and cost-effective place to conduct biomedical research.

    Excellent governance processes and well-developed national research networks create an environment which facilitates effective biomedical research.  The benefits of this nationally supportive context are magnified at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, where the collaborative work of organisations at the Campus allows accelerated translation of scientific advances into beneficial treatments.

    In addition to Cambridge University and the Cambridge University Hospitals, the Cambridge Biomedical Campus is the home of several research institutes of national importance including the Nutrition, Molecular Biology and Epidemiology bodies of Medical Research Council. The cardiothoracic Papworth Hospital has publicly announced its intention to relocate to the Biomedical Campus and will be a catalyst to substantial growth in cardiovascular research and clinical activity on the Campus.

  • The Largest High-tech and Biotech Cluster in Europe

    Space for your organisation The East of England is Europe's most productive biotech cluster and the Campus is highly respected at regional level as both a healthcare and clinical research centre. The on-site Cambridge University Hospitals (Addenbrooke's and the Rosie Maternity Hospital) provide all acute services to people from the Cambridge area and a range of specialist services to patients from the wider region. These hospitals co-operate with several other regional hospitals, notably the specialist cardiothoracic Papworth Hospital which is soon to move to the Campus.

    As well as providing the business facilities and specialist technical networks required by ambitious organisations, the region is known as one of the most attractive places to live and
    work in the UK.

    The Cambridge area attracts more investment per capita than any other area in Europe.

  • A Small City with a Big Reputation

    Space for your organisation

    The City of Cambridge is renowned for its beautiful architecture, compact centre and extensive first class amenities, providing the best in leisure and business facilities. The City and the surrounding areas are well-known for their excellent schools and Cambridge University, one of the top research universities in the world, attracts students from all over the world. The further development of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus is part of a strategic urban extension to the South of the City, which will see the continued growth of the medical and biotechnical sectors as a vital part of the City's economy.

    The Biomedical Campus is a short distance from the historic City centre and yet enjoys a semi-rural position. The Campus benefits from excellent transport links and extensive nearby amenities whilst being surrounded by an arc of chalk hills from which clear springs run into the River Cam, green space
    and attractive villages.

    The Cambridge Biomedical Campus is a world-class centre of excellence in biomedical related research, patient care and education.

    The current occupiers including Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute, the Hutchison/MRC Research Centre, the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology and the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine employ over 7000 people.

    In 1999,     Cambridge University Hospitals, together with major partners the University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council, created a masterplan for the expansion of the hospital site called the “2020 Vision”. This included the development of a further 70 acres to support and enhance existing on-site activities and to create space for new opportunities.  On completion, the expanded site, named the “Cambridge Biomedical Campus”, will be home to one of the largest and most internationally competitive concentrations of healthcare-related talent and enterprise in Europe.

  • Clinical

    Space for your organisation The extension of the Biomedical Campus sees the continued growth of Cambridge as a historic centre of clinical research and development.

    Addenbrooke's Hospital first opened its doors in 1766 and has supported a comprehensive range of University-led research ever since. Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is a major European University Medical Centre. Units of the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine and other academic institutions are embedded in the management of all major departments of the Cambridge University Hospitals.

  • Cellular

    Space for your organisation

    Building on our unrivalled expertise in discovering the mechanisms of cellular activity and development, Cambridge intends to maintain its leadership in this field through exploration of stem cells and regenerative medicine and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus provides the facilities to continue such groundbreaking discoveries.

    The growth, normal and abnormal, of human cells, their internal mechanisms and external interactions is the focus of research by many organisations on the Campus including the CIMR, the Medical Research Council Cancer Cell Unit, the Regional Blood Centre and many departments of the Clinical School.

  • Genetic

    Space for your organisation

    The Cambridge Biomedical Campus provides facilities and complementary expertise to allow genetic experts to continue Cambridge's pioneering lead in the science of evolution, heredity, genetics and genomics, following the Wellcome Trust Sanger Centre's work on sequencing the Human Genome and the earlier renowned progress of Darwin, Watson and Crick.

    The Campus is home to the University Department of Clinical Genetics and the Hospital provides a Regional Genetics Service to many health organisations in the area. Laboratories have recently been built on-site for University and for clinical use in the Addenbrooke's Treatment Centre.

  • Molecular

    Space for your organisation Indicative image of the proposed new MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology

    Biomedical research in Cambridge is underpinned by a unique tradition of atomic and molecular science. The close proximity of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus to experts in this field benefits occupiers with a molecular interest and as a result there is strong interest in the Biomedical Campus from occupiers with a molecular focus.

    The Medical Research Council continues to show its commitment to Cambridge and the Biomedical Campus by building its new state-of-the-art research centre here. The new building will replace the world-famous Medical Research Council Laboratory whose staff won an astonishing eight Nobel Prizes since the institution moved to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus in 1962. Occupiers will also benefit from the University's ‘The Physics of Medicine Initiative’ through which researchers from this and other disciplines are encouraged to mix and share ideas at the interface of the physical sciences, life sciences and clinical sciences.
